...does not want to be pushed into abrupt firings or show signs of yielding to pressure. He answered with a testy no! to reporters who repeatedly asked him whether he planned to jettison Chief of Staff Donald Regan, and an aide insisted that the President had no plans to sack CIA Director William Casey. But it is now quite probable that both men will be departing from their posts within the next month...
...woman in my position. Yet, it seems that ever since anorexia came into vogue, flashing one’s breasts seems almost crass.

...Harvard’s next possession Dawson uncharacteristically fumbled and Yale safety Steve Santoro returned the ball 38 yards for another touchdown and a 34-7 Bulldog lead. Santoro was the star of a great defensive performance, finishing the game with an interception and a sack to go along with the fumble recovery...
